Alpha
Lipoic Acid ( ALA 300) is a substance produced naturally
by the body. As we age, Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) cannot be
produced in large enough quantities to meet all of our body's
needs. It is essential for increasing energy down to the
mitochondria level. More powerful as an antioxidant than
either vitamin "C" or "E" and helps
both vitamins do a better job at scavenging free radicals.
ALA also has the ability to restore vitamins C
& E and also CO Q10. ALA boosts glutathione
levels in cells. It is unique in that it works equally well
in fats or water. In addition to its potent antioxidant
action in almost all tissues of the body, it is involved
in many key enzyme functions. Alpha Lipoic Acid supports
the liver as a protectant and detoxifies heavy metals from
the system. In Germany , Alpha Lipoic Acid is an approved
medical treatment for peripheral neuropathy. It speeds the
removing of glucose from the bloodstream, partly by enhancing
the insulin function. It also reduces insulin resistance,
an underpinning of many cases of coronary heart disease
and obesity. Alpha Lipoic Acid also has been shown to support
an improved physique, protects genetic material, is anti-aging,
protects the heart against disease.
